That dreaded moment machine is broke
That dreaded moment machine is broke
Well, I had that dreaded moment. 3AM the machine is beeping and says service required
Lucky for me I have 2 machines.. Except now I am down to NO backups. Maybe a backup for the backup is the next purchase.
sigh

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, Bill. Hope it isn't a serious problem. Those messages seem to occur for many users.

Re: That dreaded moment machine is broke
A year ago I got a backup for my main ASV and two weeks later my primary machine went down and was in the shop for THREE WEEKs. I caught a lucky break in this case since I didn't miss a single night of therapy... now I always make sure I have a backup, even if it's just an older machine with lots of hours on it.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.

I used to think having a backup for the backup was silly... In my case with a 140 AHI I would never attempt to sleep without
the machine. God forbid If something happens to my machine tonight I am totally screwed.
Hopefully, the local repair shop I found will get it fixed ASAP.

If you're not part of the solution you're just scumming up the bottom of the beaker!

Re: That dreaded moment machine is broke
That's my biggest fear as my machine has close to 17,000 hours on it and the on/off switch doesn't work correctly. I had a back up or so I thought but then found out it was turned over with water in the humidifier and left for months. Dead and not fixable. Waiting on a cpap now so I can put my high hour one away for an emergency before it quits!
Morbius, are you bored?
Re: That dreaded moment machine is broke
Well tough luck for me... The machine that broke is System One 750P Bi-PAP. I bought it in May/June 2014 from a member
of this form for $200.00 shipping included. I used the machine for 1 month Back in September for the entire month and a few days in October and then started using it again the 1st of February. So I got probably 2 months of use out of the machine.
The local repair shop called me and advised that machine needs a new blower and also a software upgrade. All this to the
tune of $580.64 to repair. I am not sure if this is a fair price or not. I am also not sure if I should even bother fixing it..
Any one have any thoughts on what I should do?

Ian ("Accurate") has been posting this afternoon, too.
If you've only got a couple of hundred into it, you've got a little "wiggle room" on repair costs. I wouldn't turn it over to a "local repair shop".

I had a feeling you would tell me to do that.
I was thinking that maybe the machine is jinxed so I should just forget it.
